Years ago when my children stopped seeing their father, I too had a child who acted out by punching me, putting holes in walls, breaking things etc. I had to pack up everything glass and put the knives out of sight for a while until we got through it.

My mom spent lots of time having me tested - hearing, speech, IQ - to see if there was something physically wrong. At 6, this was how I handled the emotional stress. Don&#39;t know why, but I eventually started speaking again.<br />I&#39;ve since made up for not speaking for that year :). <br />You&#39;ve helped many today.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05581253958511238775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4732255176396931795.post-73107096829558055032010-12-21T20:59:06.032-06:002010-12-21T20:59:06.032-06:00Dawn,
